I'm only halfway through "War of In-Laws II" (野蠻奶奶大戰戈師奶) and while the first 7 chapters felt forced and rushed, the characters are slowly growing on me, and the storyline is less muddled now.

The one thing I was excited about watching this series were the stylish fashions all the characters would wear. (The plot was loosely based off of "The Devil Wears Prada.") A full designer wardrobe was furnished for all the major characters, and in this day of globalization, just because you see it on a character in Hong Kong doesn't mean you can't buy it in the States.

From what I gather, some of the sponsors for this series include Valentino, ck Calvin Klein, Hermès, Armani, YSL, Heidi Slimane, and of course, Louis Vuitton. I'll try to cover those pieces in a later post, but what I was really drawn to was all the great jewelry that Myolie Wu 胡杏兒 got to wear. I read the credits in the back and discovered that Swarovski sponsored all of her jewelry, so of the key pieces that I thought looked the most stunning, here they are.

Cloe Pendant

Cherry Blossom Necklace

Claw Crystal Satin Pendant

Born Pendant

Stonehenge Pendant

I usually wear very dainty pieces myself, but I love how Myolie was able to show how easily it was to incorporate very substantial pieces into every day work clothes, and not look too ridiculous or loud about it. There was a very tender balance here in not overdoing it, and letting the jewelry sparkle for itself. I am so inspired I might pick up a few pieces myself!

Swarovski Cloe Pendant, gold-plated - $115

Swarovski Crystal Cherry Blossom Necklace - $330

Swarovski Claw Crystal Satin Pendant - $260

Swarovski Born Pendant - $85

Swarovski Stonehenge Pendant - $95

While I'm still on the fence on whether or not to get the Louis Vuitton Monogram Watercolor Speedy, Hong Kong actress Myolie Wu got to pose with some limited edition bags at the flagship opening of the Canton Road store in Hong Kong.


I think the Miroir is passé already (not sure that anyone but celebrities actually bought one anyways?!?), but the Watercolor Monogram still calls to me. I will wait and see if eLuxury will carry it in May...

in search of the cutest bag...

Speaking of Myolie, I was flipping through my batch of TVB Weeklies when I saw the cutest little white bag. I've been searching through the entire WWW and can't find any info. on it, so maybe this is a Hong Kong exclusive, but I love the fun and whimsical colors on this bag! The whole look is so mod and vibrant.


I've never been much of a Fendi girl, even at its height of Baguette frenzy during the Sex and the City days, but I like this youthful take on the normally dowdy Fendi logo. The white body is enhanced with an aqua handle, trimmed in red and fuschia, and hanging off the rolled handles, a blue key bell. The bag appears to be fully patent-leather.

This "Fendi Forever Boston" bag lists for $5,680HKD (roughly $730USD), while a quick search on eLuxury lists a similar style for $650USD (although the body of the eLuxury bag is just fabric).


Does anyone know anything about this bag with the fun colors? I really love it and want to find out if I can buy in the USA!!! Please help!

Gorgeous couple...

Since I have weddings on the mind (I'm going to be a maid of honor for the first time in 3 weeks!), I was very smitten with these photos of 2 of my favorite Hong Kong TV actors, Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong. Rumored to be a couple, they recently came out with another TVB series, War of In-Laws 2, so in conjunction with all the media blitz, they also came out as the new faces of Mona Lisa Bridal Salon (in HK). I love how happy and beautiful they both look! Even though they're not married, and won't admit to being a couple, they exude such chemistry, it puts real couples in real wedding photos to shame. If only my future wedding photos can look as good...
